...mind around the fact that he is gone forever. Would the news then really be so easy to dismiss that around the world, there are scientists in labs pressing ahead with plans to duplicate a human being, deploying the same technology that allowed Scottish scientists to clone Dolly the sheep four years...
...some of this research, scientists worry, the less likely they are to tolerate any of it. Yet variations on cloning technology are already used in biotechnology labs all across the country. It is these techniques that will allow, among other things, the creation of cloned herds of sheep and cows that produce medicines in their milk. Researchers also hope that one day, the ability to clone adult human cells will make it possible to "grow" new hearts and livers and nerve cells...
There was always a bit of a nod and wink in France's punishment of its most famous contemporary saboteur. After all, while sheep farmer Jose Bove's ransacking of a McDonald's outlet in the Montpellier town of Millau two years ago was simple hooliganism in the eyes of the law, it was nonetheless overwhelmingly popular in a nation that mans the barricades at the first sign of U.S. cultural encroachment. Even Prime Minister Lionel Jospin termed Bove's Quixotic crusade "just...
...content with having captured the French imagination. He quickly parlayed his McDonald's raid into a kind of radical celebrity that has made him the most recognizable global icon of the anti-globalization movement. And he didn't do it by staying on his sheep farm. Bove put in a star appearance at the trashing of the World Trade Organization talks in Seattle late in 1999, and last month helped a group of peasants wreck a Monsanto research farm in Brazil, to protest that company's promotion of genetically modified crops. Bove has mounted similar actions against genetically modified products...
...responsibility. "They took dogs bred for controlling cattle and pulling coal carts and put them in this small apartment," says Kenneth Phillips, California's leading dog-bite lawyer. "In my opinion that's negligence right there." (The dogs' previous owner told the San Francisco Chronicle that they killed her sheep, chickens and family cat.) Meanwhile, the people of Pacific Heights--many of whom say they lived in terror of the dogs--have another question to ponder. During the attack Whipple reportedly screamed for five minutes, yet no one opened a door to help. Not only is it hard to imagine...
